How to Divide Multisyllabic Words: VCCV

Erin Russo: So we've learned how to read two syllable words that have two consonants between the vowels, right? We've learned that we can underline our vowels, and when we see two consonants, we divide between the consonants. So who thinks they can help me use strategies to read this two syllable word? Finley?

Finley: You could underline the 'o' and the 'e'.

Erin Russo: Right. We underline our two vowels. And what do we see between the two vowels. Finley?

Finley: Two 'm's.

Erin Russo: Two 'm's.

Finley: So underline and the ... I mean, we can divide in between the two 'm's.

Erin Russo: You got it. Because that's the rule. We have two consonants. We divide between them and now we can read one syllable at a time. Finley, can you read this two syllable word for us?

Finley: Comment.

Erin Russo: You got it. Comment.
